MCKLLSIilN, Sec'y Then la a small lulu ml culled Tory, on the coast of Ireland, utut which hnuga many a plcturemjue legend. The Islanders are all fishermen. Iu oldeu time Tory wan lonely place and a bard place to get to and from. No priest lived there. The Islanders were all good Catholics, and not to have a priest handy to baptize tlietn, to marry them and to shrive them subjected them to constant trials. The only sacred thing they had was the "nun's grave." Long ago durlug a storm the body of a nun was washed op on the inland. That was the first time the people there saw a nun's habit. The leathern girdle and beads made them think that there was some thing sacred about the body. They prayed to be Instructed what to do with It, and a role told them that It was the body of a holy nun and they must bury It where they had found It. They did so, and to this day not a boat ever puts out to fish without a handful of earth from the "nun's grave" to pre serve the fishermen from drowning. Many years ago there lived on Tory Island a young fisherman named Fer gus Tyrone and a fisher lass named Eileen O'Connor. They were a simple couple, growing up In a small compass and loving each other with that fer vor which U to be found In those who live lives close to nature. They were of the same age, having both been born on Bt Patrick's day. Fergus, though but twenty years of age at the time the incident I am about to narrate took place, was a hardy young fellow and, however stormy the weath er, never feared to go out to fish in bis boat when any other craft was on the water. But Eileen did not fear for him, because she would never let him go without first taking a handful of earth and, after praying the holy nun to protect him, depositing it in the stern of bis boat This simple couple wished to be married on their twentieth birthday, which was St Patrick's day, of course, and Fergus had induced a priest from the mainland to agree to come over on that day and marry -them. Fergus was to row over in his boat early In the morning of the wed ding day, take the priest to the island and bring him back after the cere mony had been performed. Several days before St Patrick's day the lovers began to watch the sky for Indications of what the weather would be. They feared it might be stormy and the priest would not come over, and if they could not be mar ried on that St Patrick's day Eileen, whose heart was set on celebrating their birthday, their wedding day and St. Patrick's day together, was re solved that they must wait till the next anniversary, which would be a year. So as the days grew less before the appointed wedding day they watched every weather sign In the heavens and prayed constantly for smooth waters that there might be no trouble in bringing the priest over to marry them. But whether, as Fergus be lieved, he bad omitted some penance that he should have done or, as Eileen believed, she had not prayed often enough, on the evening of the 10th of March a dark cloud appeared in the west and a wind legan to rise. In the morning, though the water was quite rough, Fergus said he would go over and see If the father wouW come with him. So, while be went for the oars, Eileen brought some earth from the "nun's grave," dropped it In the boat with a prayer, and Fergus, returning, started for the mainland. lie found the good father resolved not to go with him. Tie might be oblig ed to remain a long while on the is land, and what would his flock do In the meanwhile without him? "But I'll marry you all the same, Fergus, my boy," he said. "Go back to Eileen, and when it is noon come down to the shore. I will go out on to the Horuhead and read the service." "But how shall we know what you are saying?" asked Fergus. Then the priest told him that when the service was begun a fire would be lighted. At another part another fire would lie lighted, and so on till a given number of fires denoted that the serv ice was finished and the couple had been pronounced man and wife. Fergus, overjoyed, started back for the Island. The wind had risen, and Eileen, who stood watching on the shore, feared that every wave would overturn the boat. When it came near enough for her to see that the priest was not In it her heart misgave her, but even before Fergus had made fast he told her of how they were to he married after nil. Shortly before tho noon, hour a wed ding party stood a the shore of Tory Island watching for a fire on Horn head, a projecting point of rock on the mainland. When they saw a flame burst forth they uncovered and knelt and watched eflgerly for the next fire, which was to murk a new part of tho service. It was an Impressive sight, this bridal party kneellna' on the bench upon which wave after wave rolled In, as. thongh to crown the bride with a veil composed of their own spray. Between them and the priest on the Hornheiid the whttecnps came rolling toward the bride as If to offer them selves ss an adornment for her bridal dres. Fire after fire appeared, each dVt.ottng that a new part of the serv v hud been reached, till at last one far brlnhter than all the rest was lluht 1. and n sound of wedding bells ram over the water.
